​Experience

I currently publish articles, give talks and collaborate with technologists, social scientists and users to co-create technologies in ways that respect psychological needs and promote wellbeing. I frequently play a "jack-of-all-trades" design role on the projects I'm involved in, carrying out the user research, interaction design, copywriting and complete user interface design, all informed by wellbeing psychology.

Geek-to-human translation

Sitting squarely at the intersection of technology and the humanities, I often fulfill the the role of cross-disciplinary translator. In other words, I help my colleagues in disparate fields (engineers, doctors, social scientists) to understand each other and work together more seamlessly by providing shared language and tools. I also enjoy translating their academic discoveries into actionable knowledge for professionals and the general public. ​

​EDUCATION

My career probably started on a Lite-Brite in the mid-80s, and later I got degrees in Writing, Directing and Multimedia Design from Carnegie Mellon (Bachelors) and The University of Sydney (Masters).​
